The Creative Team
Seamlessly Aligned

Over the years, I’ve learned that the most effortless, emotionally rich wedding days happen when your creative team feels aligned in style, communication, and spirit. That’s why I’ve teamed up with my incredibly talented friend Megan, a documentary-style videographer, to offer seamless photo + video coverage.

To bring even more heart and nostalgia into what we offer, I’ve also onboarded Madison, our in-house film photographer, who captures moments on 35mm in a way that feels raw, timeless, and beautifully real.

We’re a small, trusted team working with one goal: to preserve your love story honestly and artistically, whether through movement, stillness, or the grainy texture of film.

One team. One shared vision. One unforgettable experience.

Katie Petersen

Hey, I'm Katie! I'm a professional photographer based in sunny San Diego and the proud founder of Nova Collective. With a passion for storytelling through imagery, I specialize in capturing the beauty and emotion of weddings, couples, and portraits. From the joy of saying "I do" to the intimate moments shared between loved ones, I love being there to capture some of the most special moments in people's lives.

Megan

Hi, I’m Megan, a Southern California-based videographer specializing in documentary-style storytelling. My passion lies in capturing your unique and authentic love story through the art of filmmaking. I focus not only on the grand, unforgettable moments, but also on the quiet, unscripted ones—ensuring that every second of your day is preserved with intention.

Madison

Bio coming soon! Madison is our in-house film photographer, documenting select parts of your day using 35mm film for that soft, nostalgic, tactile feel. Her work brings a soulful touch to every story we tell.


Like light and shadow, photo and video shine brightest when created side by side by a team that truly gets each other.

Why Book a Unified Team?

When your photo and video team are already creatively aligned, your day flows smoother, your communication is simpler, and your final imagery and film feel cohesive in both energy and aesthetic. We share a documentary-meets-editorial approach, capturing real emotion with intention and artistry.

Booking photo and video together means:

» Fewer vendors to manage

» One streamlined planning and communication experience

» A team that knows how to work together without stepping on each other’s toes

» And a final gallery + film that feel aligned in tone, style, and emotional depth

This same energy extends to our film photographer, too. With the same storytelling mindset, Madison adds another thoughtful layer of visual memory, real film that complements your digital photos and video beautifully.
